Possible former extraction pits of post-medieval to 19th century date are visible as a series of small earthwork pits on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, within Skinner’s Copse. The earthworks are situated on the steep northwest facing slopes of a ridge and comprise a series of six small oval shaped earthworks, up to 7m in length. These earthworks are located within a broader area that is characterised by extractive and mine workings, including Roman open cast iron-ore pits and post-medieval whetstone mines. The earthworks were not visible on aerial photographs owing to dense tree cover here.
